On weekends I like to treat myself. I like to starting my mornings in a healthy way. The idea of salad for breakfast may seem a bit strange but it is a great way to get a jump start on getting those recommended daily servings of vegetables. On any given day it is a struggle for me to consume one measly cup of raw veggies. I find that when I start with salad for breakfast, it motivates me to make healthier eating choices throughout the day.
I must confess that my salads don't require a recipe. They are dictated by what's in season and what I happen to have on hand. Here is a rough guide for you to follow.
Cherry Tomato Salad with Sprouts and Toast
1 serving
Salad
1 tablespoon goats cheese crumbled
1 stalk chive, chopped
5 grapes, halved
5 black olives, halved
pinch of salt
pinch of black pepper
pinch of red pepper flakes
1 slice toast
1 tablespoon hummus
1 soft boiled egg
alfalfa sprouts (as much or as little as you like)
Mix all the salad ingredients together. Spread hummus on toast and serve with alfalfa sprouts.

The egg looks perfect! I don't know if I can bring myself to have a salad for breakfast.. perhaps a light brunch?
